Concept A
This concept represents a vision for a strong riverfront area and more balanced downtown
where you can live, work, and play. The continuous pathway connections on both sides of the river
from Falls Park to the Beadle Greenway and the proposed recreation center make for a lively experience
at the center of the city. The addition of a 12,000-seat events center as a destination and
economic engine on the east bank would attract people and provide synergy to the downtown.

Downtown
Concept A also includes roughly 1,100 units of residential, 400,000 sq. ft. of office, and
400,000 sq. ft. of retail. Also shown in the concept are approximately 9,000 new parking spaces.
The City assisted the design team by providing a preliminary assessment of parking and traffic circulation
for the plan and found it to be adequate. Locating an events center was not originally a
part of the design team’s scope, however based on the direction of the community and the advisory
committees, an attraction of this nature could be a critical tile in the mosaic of the entire greenway.

Concept B
This concept also represents a vision for a strong riverfront area and more balanced downtown.
However, this concept emphasizes living in the downtown by providing a variety of residential
housing types in place of an events center. Similar to Concept A, the continuous pathway connections
on both sides of the river from Falls Park to the proposed recreation center make for a fantastic
recreation experience at the center of the city.

Downtown
Concept B includes a little more than 1,800 units of residential, 500,000 sq. ft. of office and
400,000 sq. ft. of retail. Also shown in the concept are approximately 8,000 new parking spaces.
The concept does not host an events center or other large economic engine and therefore would
depend more on improvements along the river corridor to attract people. The riverfront concepts
in this plan will work with either option. A facilities planning committee will ultimately study the
location of an events center and recreation center for the city of Sioux Falls. Concept A and B
were prepared purely to give life to the downtown riverfront portion of the greenway master plan.
